The Deepwater Horizon oil spill presents an unprecedented threat to the Gulf of Mexico coasts. Effective oil spill tracking and prediction systems are critical for the ongoing response effort. Accurate hindcast modeling systems are essential for assessing the damage and long-term impacts. Presentations concerning in situ and remote sensing observations, theory, and modeling work focusing on the oil spill movement and fate are encouraged. Topics of particular interest include 1) tracking the oil spill by satellites, aircrafts, vessels, AUVs, gliders, profilers, etc., and 2) numerical models simulating the trajectory and fate of the oil spill. Experiences from other oil spill cases are also welcome.
